Furious and embarrassed, Mrs. Peyton glared at Julian. "So, you're dead set on protecting this wretched girl?"
"That's right. No one is allowed to bully my sister. That includes you."
Julian spoke with complete confidence, looking just like a puppy guarding its food. He looked ready to pounce and tear apart anyone who dared to come near.
Laura, who had been fuming just a moment ago, suddenly smiled upon seeing this young man defending her so fiercely. It was a happy, radiant smile.
"Laura, don't even think you can keep my grandson by your side. I am absolutely taking him back. And only he can inherit the entire Peyton Family fortune."
Laura shrugged dismissively. "There's no need to keep stressing that little fortune of your Peyton Family. I couldn't care less about it. As for whether Julian wants to go back with you, you'll have to ask him. Telling me is useless."
"Grandma, I've decided to stay here. But don't worry, I'll come back and visit you often."
